Roof Top Tents

Roof top tents are tents on top of
cars, wow!

The car roof tent is convenient and is
quick to set up. You carry your tent, poles, and bedding on top of
your car, which leaves more space inside your car for other things
and people. I remember times I have packed the car and then wondered
where to put the children.

Then when you get to your campsite you
pull on the ladder or release clips to pop open the tent. You won't
have to worry about what type of ground your camping on, i.e. rocks,
mud, water, or if there is room for both your car and your tent at
the site.

Also you don't need stakes and quy
lines unless you have an additional section that extends down to the
ground. You could also expand the space with the use of a canopy or
screen tent, of course that means carting extra stuff.

They come with foam mattresses so your
don't have to cart sleeping mats or air mattresses. Quite convenient
if you mainly need a space to sleep in.

How quick it sets up depends on the
make and extras that come with it. Another plus is you don't have to
pack and unpack your tent every time you go camping. It's stored on
top of your car. How convienient is that?

Car roof tents have apparently been
around for 75 years, but I had not seen them before until 2013 when I
was looking for videos for pop up camping trailers.

Below are 3 videos of roof top tents -

This one pops up when you pull on its
ladder -

This one pops up when you release clips

And this one has an extension -

With all these camping trailers and car roof tents you have no excuse to not go camping.
